question for our friends across the pond

how did the covid shot go,being you'all were the first/

[jimeka]

They have released this morning after two nurses had an allergic reaction to the Pifzer, they are warning people if they have an allergy to drugs then not to take it. 😊

MHRA is recommending any severe allergic reaction history to avoid the Pfizer one, which includes foods, etc. Thats a lot of people excluded, so I’m sure this will change soon.

[pamgarner in reply to kdali]

good info thx

[jimeka in reply to kdali]

Thank you 😊

[pamgarner in reply to jimeka]

thank you

When I read than anyone who carries an Epi pen for severe allergic reaction (e.g., me) should not take the Pfizer vaccine, I knew I would wait for one of the others.

[pamgarner in reply to goatgal]

that is helpful thanks

I am just wondering if we will get a choice? I would prefer the Oxford Astra Zeneca one but I doubt I will get the option.🥰

[kdali in reply to Ali_B62]

Any reason for your preference?

[Ali_B62 in reply to kdali]

Not a logical one really, except to say that it might have undergone more testing before I have it. It's cheaper and doesn't have to be kept at such a low temperature!😊

[kdali in reply to Ali_B62]

Thank you

[pamgarner in reply to Ali_B62]

I dont carry an epi pen and in this instance i am so not afraid to be a guinea pig. As soon as i can i am so going to get one

[pamgarner in reply to Midgey_Midge06]

me too!

[Ali_B62]

I guess we are all going to be guinea pigs, but what else can be done? Maybe better the side effects than the virus?🙂

[pamgarner in reply to Ali_B62]

somehow we have got to beat this!i'll be 1 in line when we can get this
